My biggest fear was that it would have a cheap clock motor that makes a loud "tick tick" noise but it has what seems like a high quality motor that has the seconds hand moving in a continual sweep. It is large and is either a small wall clock or a large bedroom clock. The "12" tick mark is not very visible but no worries , it's pretty easy to read even at my age. I really like this clock. The lens really is glass too so no yellowing or cracking with age and UV coming through the window
